How Kenyan Affiliates Can Use Video & Webinars to Drive More Conversions
Many Kenyans prefer watching videos over reading long blog posts. Whether it’s a quick YouTube tutorial, a WhatsApp video clip, or a live webinar/video builds trust and connects better with audiences. For those in affiliate marketing, this presents a major opportunity. Even short 2-minute tutorials often convert better than static links or plain text posts.
If you’re a HOSTAFRICA affiliate, creating simple video content is one of the smartest ways to boost clicks, build authority, and increase commissions.
Why Video Works for Affiliate Marketing in Kenya
There’s a reason video is taking over digital platforms, it works. In Kenya, mobile internet usage is extremely high, and many users turn to video to learn new skills, solve problems, or explore products.
Here’s why video makes a difference in affiliate marketing:
- Kenyans are active video consumers, especially on mobile phones
- Video builds trust—people are more likely to buy from someone they’ve seen explain a product
- Tutorials are easily shareable in WhatsApp groups, Facebook communities, and student forums
- YouTube videos can generate long-term traffic and passive affiliate income
- Screen recordings simplify complex topics like how to set up web hosting or install WordPress
According to GSMA, mobile video consumption in Africa is growing rapidly, and Kenya is one of the leaders. This creates the perfect environment for video-based affiliate marketing.
